Title A name given to the resource Photograph of the mural "Tell Me About the Olden Days" by Dan Sawatzky, c. 1991 Subject The topic of the resource "Tell Me About the Olden Days" mural Description An account of the resource Colour photograph of the mural "Tell Me About the Olden Days" by Dan Sawatzky, c. 1991. Painted in 1988 by Dan Sawatzky of Chemainus, BC, at 225 East Main Street, 50' X 20'. The mural illustrates the arrival of immigrants in Welland about 1910, with a grandfather telling his grandson what is was like being an immigrant in southern Ontario. The mural was originally painted on the old Firestone building on East Main in 1988, but shortly after the building was purchased by the Atlas and Civic Employees' Credit Union who then wanted to reconstruct and refurbish the building. The mural was moved at great effort and expense, due to a fundraising initiative by the Welland Festival of Arts. Shoalts Construction performed the move, as seen in the bottom two files, to a parking lot on 225 East Main that they owned. It is now a free standing wall not affixed to a building.
